I only remember Dad talking about Collinsville as a BP. Also DeKalb County, Portersville and Fort Payne. So, I was surprised when I found Dad's WW I Draft Registration card stated BP as Cherokee. My grandfather was James Hamilton Wright (1861-1903) and my GGF was J H Wright (b. abt. 1835) in Alabama. I haven't found anything more about him. J H married Lucinda ___.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: rngrant Surnames: WRIGHT Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15294/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Dear Fellow Researchers: This message is being posted to the Wright list and the Westmoreland, Stafford, Prince William, Fauquier, and Franklin County, Virginia, lists and the Surry County, North Carolina, list to be sure to reach all researchers interested in this family. The result is that you may see duplicate copies, which I hope you will not mind too much. Significant DNA results have been posted at the Wright DNA Project at http://www.wright-dna.org/ under the heading "1540 John". The consequence of the results is that 1792 (year of death) John Wright of Fauquier County, Virginia, (place of death) was not the son of 1729/30 John Wright of Stafford County, Virginia, or the grandson of 1713 Francis Wright of Westmoreland County, Virginia, and his wife Anne (Washington) Wright. The explanation of this result is set forth below. Six participants in the Wright DNA Project are descendants of 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County, Virginia, through his son 1809 William Wright of Franklin County, Virginia. One participant is a descendant of 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County, Virginia, through his son 1789 John Wright of Surry County, North Carolina. Their Y-DNA is posted under Haplogroup R1b1, the most common haplogroup found for Wright families, in the listings titled "1792 John". There is one perfect match of 37 of 37 markers for one of the descendants of 1809 William Wright (Kit 38121) and the one descendant of 1789 John Wright (Kit 94975), which confirms their common heritage and descent from 1792 John Wright. If you click on "1792 John", you will be taken to a chart prepared by Jeff Wright showing the line of descent from 1792 John to all of the participants. There is also a descendant of 1655 Francis Wright of Yorkshire, England, who has participated and his Kit is 71409. His line of descent goes through 1713 Francis Wright of Westmoreland County and his second son 1741 Richard Wright of Westmoreland County. However, his Y-DNA sequence was posted under Haplogroup J2, a much less common haplogroup for Wright families, and his results are listed under "1540 John". The consequence of these two sets of Y-DNA being from different haplogroups is that the two lines could not be related. Either the descendants of 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County were incorrectly identified as descendants of 1655 Francis Wright of Yorkshire, England, or Kit 71409 was incorrectly so identified. Fortunately, another participant was found who descends from 1655 Francis Wright of Yorkshire, England, but through another line, that of his son 1674 George Wright of Yorkshire, England. His Kit is 108246. His line of descent is set forth in Burke's Commoners down to George Nathan Wright, born in 1806, and then from there to the participant at the website of Diane Hayter at OurGenealogy.co.uk. His Y-DNA results are the ones that have just been posted and are found under Haplogroup J2 and listed under "1540 John". The Y-DNA sequence of Kit 108246 most closely matches that of Kit 71409 and establishes that the Y-DNA of the family of 1655 Francis Wright of Yorkshire, England, does not match that of the descendants of 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County. They are two different Wright lines. If you click on "1540 John", you will be taken to a chart prepared by Jeff Wright showing the line of descent from 1655 Francis to both of the participants who descend from him. And the further consequence of this result that necessarily follows is that 1792 John Wight of Fauquier County, Virginia, could not have been the son of 1729/30 John Wright of Stafford County or the grandson of 1713 Francis Wright of Westmoreland County who married Anne Washington. The difference in Y-DNA sequences precludes that. I will be happy to discuss this posting and the Y-DNA results with any interested researchers. Robert N.

The obituary gives his birth date as 21 Sep 1869, but I have other sources that say 1866. I'm looking for anyone else researching this line, particularly his parents, Dr. Laban Allison Wright and Elizabeth Smith, of Bamberg, SC. *** Wright Services Conducted Here Died Saturday Afternoon at Local Infirmary; Was One of City's Best Known Citizens [photo: Mr. W. R. Wright] Funeral services for Mr. William Russell Wright, 415 Greene Street, who died Saturday afternoon at a local infirmary, were arranged Monday at Grealish, Poteet and Walker Funeral Home, with the Rev. C. L. Middlebrooks, pastor of St. James Methodist Church, officiating, interment following in Westover Memorial Park. Active pallbearers: A. R. Johnson, T. W. Lawson, W. M. Kelly, T. J. Rampley, W. J. Thompson and John Wilson. Honorary: C. F. Stavro, J. J. Nowell, J. C. Cason, Dr. Edward Clark, Fred Gherken, Sr., Henry D. Rhodes, Sr., J. O. Weltch, Dr. G. W. Shackleford, Arnold Sancken and Dr. M. P. Agee. Mr. Wright, a native of Bamberg, S. C., had resided in Augusta for the past 22 years and during that time had been employed as conductor by the Pullman Company, running to Florence. Before coming here he was for 10 years a captain in the National Guard Unit of Bamberg. He was a Spanish-American War veteran and a member of the Masons. During the war his company was commanded by Claude E. Sawyer. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Alice Cathcart Wright; two daughters, Mrs. B. M. Rhodes, of Augusta; and Mrs. B. F. Hill, of Manning, S.

They were married 47 years at his death. Twenty-one years ago he came to Augusta from Bamberg. Mr. Wright was a Southern gentleman of the old school. Aristocratic in breeding and manner, in appearance striking and kindly, his conduct was such as to make him one of the most esteemed men of Augusta. His death is universally mourned.
